Good Secrets, Bad Secrets: The Sex Talk Most Parents Skip May 12, 2026

Show notes

How do you teach a young child that sex is private and special without making them feel ashamed of it, and without accidentally training them to keep secrets from you, which is the exact tactic abusers count on?

In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz walks through a simple framework Christian parents can use with kids as young as four: the difference between good secrets (protecting something valuable) and bad secrets (trying to cover up sin). She also shares the single rule every parent should teach their child about secrets, and how to respond when your child confesses something hard so they keep coming back to you.

If you're looking for help starting the basic sex conversations with your young child, Foundation Worldview's "The Talk"...Made Easy is a three-video resource that walks parents through anatomy, the mechanics of sex, and reproduction. You can find it at foundationworldview.com.

How to Show Your Kids Jesus in Every Old Testament Story May 05, 2026

Show notes

How do you help your kids see Jesus in every Old Testament story? Most children hear the Bible as a stack of disconnected accounts — Noah's ark over here, David and Goliath over there, Jesus somewhere in the New Testament. But the Bible is one cohesive story, and every chapter of the Old Testament is pointing toward Christ.

In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz walks through a simple framework parents can use at home:

- How to tell the Bible's story as one connected whole, broken into 16 memorable time periods from creation to the return of Jesus

- Four Old Testament passages that point directly to Christ — Genesis 3:15, Genesis 12:3, the Passover lamb in Exodus 12, and Moses's promise of a coming prophet in Deuteronomy 18

- A daily reading habit that anchors every passage your family encounters in the Bible's bigger story

If this episode is helpful, our Studying the Bible curriculum walks families through the full method Elizabeth modeled here — the Bible timeline, the Old Testament clues that point to Jesus, and the basic skills kids need to read, interpret, and apply Scripture for themselves.

What's the Difference Between Christians and Seventh-Day Adventists? Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

What do Seventh-Day Adventists actually believe, and how do those beliefs line up with historic Christianity? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz walks through what Seventh-Day Adventists teach, where those teachings align with the Christian faith, and where they depart from it.

She begins with a simple three-step method any parent can use to research a belief system different from their own — a method that works whether the belief in question is another Christian denomination, a sect, a cult, or another religion entirely. From there, she covers the origin of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the Great Disappointment of 1844, the role of Ellen G. White in shaping its early teachings, and four key doctrinal differences worth understanding: the investigative judgment, Sabbath-keeping, annihilationism, and soul sleep.

Whether you have friends or family members who are Seventh-Day Adventists, or you simply want to help your children think clearly and lovingly about denominational differences, this episode offers a clear, biblical, and practical starting point.

Resource mentioned in this episode: From Sabbath to Lord's Day by D. A. Carson.

Hoppers Movie Review for Families Mar 14, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz reviews the new Pixar film Hoppers.

While the movie contains engaging storytelling, beautiful animation, and themes about relationships and caring for nature, it also presents a worldview that treats humans as just another animal in the ecosystem.

So how can Christian parents help their kids think biblically about the ideas presented in the film?

Elizabeth walks through both the positive and negative elements of Hoppers and shares four key worldview questions parents can discuss with their children after watching the movie. These questions help kids evaluate cultural messages and compare them with what Scripture teaches about creation, humanity, and God’s ultimate plan to restore the world.

If your family is considering seeing Hoppers, or if you've already seen it, this episode will help you decide—and equip you to turn the movie into a meaningful biblical conversation.
